Blueprint envy
A friend describes their year.
Every sentence has weight. A wall being built.
You nod along and feel something twist.
Your version doesn't sound like that.
It sounds like weather.
You've called it spontaneity.
But spontaneity moves toward something.
This just reacts to whatever shows up.
The uncomfortable part isn't the lack of a plan.
It's realising you've been pretending that was the plan.
A design isn't a cage. It's a spine.
Nothing stands upright without one.
A friend describes their year and every sentence has weight. Yours sounds like weather. Spontaneity needs a direction. Otherwise it's just drift.
